I already get tipsy after 2 bottles. My tolerance for being drunk is quite low, not to mention I'm not a fan of it's taste.

Interesting. I will take note of that and try it as well when I drink bourbon again. Come to think of it, the "experts" do say that it will expose those hidden flavors and nuances, so I guess what they're saying is true and ice creates a different change.

In my case, I noticed the deterioration started when I turned 28. I used to be able to play video games for a much longer time with my hands not getting strained, but in my late 20's my hands and arms feel tired a lot sooner than when I was in my early 20's. The same goes for my back and torso...

Bourbon is usually expensive, so anything under $50 would be my likely pick, lol. There are a lot of brands I have yet to try and I would start from this list, since it gives you a review as well: https://vinepair.com/buy-this-booze/12-best-bourbons-under-50-dollars/

Alcohol is meant to be taken in sips and not gulps. I read that if you take Jack Daniels in 1 sitting and you did not vomit it then you could die from taking too much of it. So always go by rule of thumb, just drink alcohol by sips and do it intermittently.

My brother told me that it's nice to pour Sprite in vodka. I tried it, but it still wasn't able to overpower the bitter taste of vodka. I guess you need a lot of Sprite just to be able to taste it's citrusy flavor in your drink.

I think the people who go there primarily want to meet new people, so they go out in public places like pubs to drink and socialize. They want to see and be seen. Intorovert types who only want to drink just do it at home.

Well, if you're looking for people with personal experience about having allergic reactions to alcohol, then you should have been more specific and told us to share our personal experience. Because in your 1st post you were just asking if alcohol can trigger allergies.

I see my friends acting all stupid, and they embarass themselves with what they say or do when they're drunk, so I told myself I will never behave like them. So I make it a point to not drink too much and stop immediately if I already feel tipsy.

Just google it and you will get your answer, and here it is, as taken from the search results: "Alcohol can also trigger allergic reactions or irritate existing allergies. A Danish study found that for every additional alcoholic drink consumed in a week, the risk of seasonal allergies went up 3...

Bailey's is one of my favorite beverages, too bad that it's just so expensive, I can't buy it as often as I would like.

I usually go to a bar when I get invited by friends because it's their birthday or it's a special occasion. I don't even spend money on drinks and transporation when that happens, lol. On my own, I just go once a month, especially when I have a buddy to go along with me.

@Zero, That's true, although some people who want to see and be seen in high end pubs or bars don't seem to have any problem shelling out cash. Well, they can afford it in the first place, so it's they're choice to spend their money on expensive bars/pubs.

No, I don't do such things, but I know such behavior is quite common in young people. Even in pop culture rappers also sing about it, like leaving with a complete stranger together from a bar. I'm not a prude, but it totally puts you at risk for STD's if you're not careful.

I'm quite busy so I haven't had the time to do that yet, but I will try to once I have free time. I would love to try out new kinds and brands of beer.

As with all other things, you have to do it in moderation. I guess you can drink it sparingly, around 3x per week at the most, and only do it if you don't have work so that it won't interfere with your schedule.

Adding lemon to beer is not unusual, in fact adding citrus fruits to it can lessen it's bitter taste. I haven't personally tried adding lemon to beer yet, but I have done adding citrus fruits to gin. It tasted good!

I don't think I would want heavy meals such as steak or burgers with beer, I prefer light snacks like nachos or tacos to go along with beer instead. I don't want the bitter taste of beer to muddle the taste of my heavy meals.

Yes, it is, and it's one of the more expensive ones too. I don't think I would want to spend my money on a beverage that expensive, so I get them for free on parties.

I have always added ice to my bourbon and I never noticed any difference as well, in fact I agree that it blands the taste than enhance it, so I don't get where they're coming from when they said that, lol.
